Eulogy

Gary Sullivan, died today from complications of losing his soul mate. He was 33 years old. Strong and obsessive, Sullivan never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious moments in life with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday afternoon in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Sullivan secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Scott Jones, a multi decorated soldier in the war on terror, described Gary as a changed man in the last days of his life. "Things were clearer for him," Jones noted. Ultimately Gary concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call "fatum", what we currently refer to as destiny.
